nosferatu movie

 this afternoon i went to see a movie at the music box theater in minneapolis, 'nosferatu'. it is the 1922 german silent film based on the book 'dracula'. i hadn't read the book so this was likely my first exposure to the story. memorable to me was the scene with carnivorous plants. also the ship that carried 6 boxes of dirt, and eventually we see all of these mice or rats. i went because i knew a friend from the open-mic i go to regularly, the flautist, was in the orchestra backing up the movie. i think it was my first visit to this venue since 2010, when i saw two events that year. one was a haunted house, the other was the play 'triple espresso'. i decided to take the light rail to the event. before it i got some errand running done. this included going to my post office box, two postcards were there to be picked up. i dropped off recycle near the capitol, then went to the nearby target store and got two charlie brown books. both seemed to be related to thanksgiving. while there i also got some cheese, and a burrito. it was midday by then, so it was time to eat. when i got home i heated up the burrito and had it with some lay's BBQ chips. i wasn't home for all that long, as i needed to get to the venue. when i got back i got groceries at aldi. then it was time for the evening meal, had some pizza. then i went to the holiday gas station and picked up a redbox movie, i will watch it the next morning. i made it home just as the world series, game 4, was starting. the braves trailed for much of the game but went ahead with back to back home runs and went on to beat the astros 3-2. so the braves now lead the series 3-1. later on i went on a walk and found 83 cents. it is likely that i will make another visit to target sometime soon as some of the CDs there interest me. this week i noticed they had one by maroon 5, which does have 'memories' on it. of course this is in addition to seeing another disc of lady gaga duets with tony bennett. this morning i had waffles, a big deal as i normally have cereal. but i had a box of pancake mix i hadn't opened, and i said it was time to open it. first time i had used the waffle iron in a while, a krups model. i think i had bought it with some points from the former job, likely when i was still living in suburban chicago. i cleaned it off and it worked fine, and the waffle tasted fine.
